Probably, as the underside of the reciever had another form on the recoil lug. It was smaller than the usual m98 lug. The reciever had the same width all over. The bolt seemed to be a typical m98, cocked on opening.

A suspicious thought says, that the gunsmith may have turned down action to neater dimensions in order to make a light rifle - but then the barrel should have been fatter at the base. In fact it is one of the thinnest rifle barrels I've encountered.

Sadly, the rifle is totally anonymous. I just know that the stamps are german from 1924, and that the style has a typical sauerkraut scent. Much indicates, that it is a low grade rifle without any extras.
